a bit about me

My name is Gina Emerson and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Boise, Idaho. I have always appreciated portraiture, as well as photojournalism. From the early days of my youth, my parents always had National Geographic lined up on their shelves and I remember spending hours browsing those intriguing images of things and places from around the world. The photographs spoke to me and I can now see that with my own children, who would probably tell you National Geographic is their favorite magazine.

To describe my wedding photography style, I would say that it leans heavy toward photojournalism, capturing YOU accurately on your wedding day with all the beautiful details as they unfold. But I also love elegant portraits and believe they are important to balance out your collection of photographs from the day. My approach is personable, non-intrusive, and natural as we work together to capture the uniqueness of you and your loved ones on your wedding day. And for those considering my services for special events or portraits, I bring a similar style and the same passion.

Please take some time to browse my site and if you like what you see, leave a comment. I appreciate feedback and would love to hear from you.

Thank you for considering me as your photographer, it is an honor to be entrusted with your photographs.

Surrounded by close friends and family, Ryan and Liz were married up in Stanley, Idaho at Redfish Lake in the incredible Sawtooth Mountains in central gorgeous pristine Idaho. They made their vows on the north shore of the lake, with breathtaking views of the Sawtooths. The setting was truly idyllic and the love between these two was just beautiful to witness. Ryan and Liz , it was a joy to photograph you on your lovely wedding day. Much love to you both!

This summer I got to photograph the Anderson family! Earlier in the year, my friend Katie and I agreed to do a photo swap of our families this summer in Portland. We ended up doing both sessions out on Sauvie Island, right outside of Portland. I adore this family! Amity is so sweet and I just love her big smiles she made for the camera 🙂 There is a lot of love in this family and it was a joy to spend the morning photographing them.
